This is my first Crusader map. It says it's balanced, but if you look closely, the land isn't exactly equal. I still have to fix a few things. (the water in the middle isn't even a creek; it's a river). It's a simple map designed for a player to prosper and fight. Originally it was only 4 players, but I thought I could fit 2 more in. Please rate and comment. Thank you.

Works well, AI reactions were well, played well with the terrain. But i encountered one HUGE problem, that should have been found and fixed during tests on your map. On one of the rivers, end ( i dont know which one it is, cause I keep moving the view), the river finishes short of the map limit. This gives advantage to the players to sneak an attack on the others farms, and potentialy, to its castle. This should be fixed right away.
But apart from that, nice clean fight at the center, but not much of effect this will have on your economy, because you can position pour farms farther away.

Its well balanced. Good work.

Good idea. I see that more and more people make maps with all the farms and all the ressources at the center. But the more, the merrier!!

Work on the landscape abit more. some parts are nice, but some seem to have been skiped. as exemple, there is one place where the water fall is at the center of the river. Take it out. doesnt blend it properly. Im sure that was a mistake.
